Guided Fly Fishing on the Nantahala River

Today, I guided Tom and Ben on the Delayed Harvest section of the Nantahala River. It was good to be back on the water after a few days of blown out streams. There were plenty of fish brought to the net including a 17″ Rainbow and a 17-18″ Brown. Ben put a brand new TFO BVK 10′ 3wt nymphing rod to good use today, and it handled the big fish with ease. Most fish were taken on #8 Black/Olive Hot Head Marvins and a #6 Cream/Brown UV Dubbed Bottom Roller with a hot orange hot spot. A few fish were taken on a #14 Tungsten Rainbow Warrior. The big fish pictured above gave Ben the grand slam for the day.
